Frequently Asked Questions

Is it safe to travel by train from Tampa to Jacksonville right now?

We stand behind CDC guidelines that caution passengers against non-essential travel during the coronavirus outbreak. That said, we recognize not everyone is in a position to completely abstain. Whether it’s for work, to take care of family or to get back home, some circumstances inevitably require travel. If you’re one of those individuals who still needs to book a trip, you can continue to do so on Wanderu.

Know that most train companies are still running at this time, though some have limited service. Visit our COVID-19 travel guide for resources and daily updates on the coronavirus and COVID travel restrictions.

Yes, there are trains that can take you the entire way from Tampa to Jacksonville.

Looking for ways to pass the time? Most trains are equipped with Wi-Fi, which means you can stream music, browse social media or get some work done during your ride.

I just like the pace of train travel and that you get to see things you wouldn't necessarily get to using other modes of transportationI just like the pace of train travel and that you get to see things you wouldn't necessarily get to using other modes of transportation

I really didn't see anything to improve. Train was late arriving for departure but that isn't necessarily their fault.I really didn't see anything to improve. Train was late arriving for departure but that isn't necessarily their fault.
